Subpage under development, new version coming soon!
Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from
That doesnt happen as soon as your team is 60+ish rating.... but yes, the level at top and bottom should both improve :)
I think this game is great and that's why I'm still active, and it is because the ME is so well done that even after years without updates, it is still enjoyable. In my opinion, there are just some bugs really annoying that should be fixed, but the ME is good as it is (not perfect).
In order to be sustainable the game needs income and the business model is based on users. Bottom line, they need to attract users and keep them involved in the game.
What would you do? I think the devs are doing a great job updating the algorithms to the current technology and I'm confident they would fix the annoying bugs. The next big thing to do is to improve the gameplay, and they are doing it or trying to!. The last thing should be the graphics and they are also doing it. Don't you think? If I were them I would do the same.

I feel that the game needs to take into account new players coming in, looking at their first match and being immediately turned off by the "unexplainable" behaviours.

My 70+ team does too much nonsense.
ME needs a lot of improvement, probably to be rewritten as well. It also shouldn't stop there, gameplay (management and ME) needs regular updates, the game mustn't become stale.
Now, I am skeptical. Who is gonna work on ME? It is not a standard work. If I take Raul and BlueZero for example. Both said that they have over 10 years of experience. They probably work on back-end all the time. But how many times did they work on a simulation like ME? Probably never, they can correct me if I'm wrong. How are you gonna find a person with experience in something so specific?

can you give us any info on the new tactics editor features?
It works exactly the same (its just a flash conversion) but we introduced a bit more detailed field (more possible positions than currently).
Wow...even more squares to adjust :-)
If I may ask 2 simple updates, and maybe it's allready done in the new interface, but I'll ask anyway, to be sure.
Is it possible to make a link to the NT and U21 groups in the NT-page of each team? Cause now, you first have to click on a match to find the first available link to the group of an NT it plays in.
And 2nd, Can you ''set'' the player list of an NT and U21 team so that their last updated skills are visible within that list?
It really is a drag to check the database on how players look like when you're setting your line-up. You can make sure their skills are only visible within that list and only for the NT coach of that team.

We have still 35 squares to set, more detailed is just a field - more options for each player possition setting:)
About your proposals - i think they are possible to implement with new interface part of work, but NT is less priority now.

Since you're considering them to implement in the future, I'm sure lots of NT coaches will be gratefull, including me :-)
just tried it, what can i say? wow! thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks
:D
:D
More squares for more tactical detail, that sound interesting, i would suggest if you could share some screens please.
Well that do not make sense if me not change I think number of squares were more than enough .
Putting NT as low priority and not having tool to transfer tactics will make NT job super hard ..
